Last night’s post was super spicy.
No doubt about that.
Someone, let’s just say someone with a major environmental (Anti-Industry Industry) non-profit located in DC with an additional presence in Berkeley. One whose executives make well over six figures and one that took in a couple million in taxpayer grants. This is identifiable by the domain name on the woman’s email address.
She replied to our inbox as opposed to hopping into the comments.
Writing:
Y'all must have some serious trauma to write with such hatred. No wonder you represent no one.
Try connecting, not dividing, for once. You might be surprised!
Her message shows nothing but a profound disconnect to the points being made. We reject this framing in its entirety.
It’s a faux appeal.
Our wording was indeed strong but to describe it as “hate,” is inaccurate. We never claimed to represent anyone either. All the people and entities we mentioned in the last piece have a serial record of deceiving the regular Californians however. We’ll extend the benefit of the doubt that you’re not aware of all the details but this doesn’t look good on you.
There’s a sufficient archive on this Substack alone.
There’s no “connecting” to these cretins either. Like your fellow non-profit, most engage in dividing people by immutable characteristics for political gain. They’re powerful, and they don’t give a damned about you or anyone else outside their crony circles unless it helps them.
"Y'all must have some serious trauma to write with such hatred. No wonder you represent no one. Try connecting, not dividing, for once. You might be surprised!"
You just have to love the "folksy" Y'all salutation, and expert medical and psychological diagnosis. This, along with the concluding remark about representation, then the heartfelt advice to "try connecting, not dividing..." is just stunning. How much did you have to pay Karen for this wonderful counseling session?
